What began in 1984, as a modest display of 14 trees in a local warehouse, has grown to become a yuletide extravaganza that has raised over $5 million to improve healthcare in our community—proving that Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees is more than just the hottest holiday ticket in town; it is a celebration of what can happen when people work together for a greater good.
The opening event of the Festival of Trees is the Gala, considered to be the holiday event of the year.
Senior Day follows and is another Festival favorite.
Family Day is fun for the whole family with games, crafts, prizes and special appearances by popular costumed characters.
Throughout the Festival, children also enjoy Breakfast with Santa, Pictures with Santa, Craft Corner for Kids, the Art Contest and of course, the fun and challenging Scavenger Hunt.
The grand finale of the Festival is the Luncheon and Fashion Show. This lovely afternoon features a runway show of the latest fashions for men, women and children, provided by local boutiques and shops.
